A couple of things I noticed this morning:

The lifts on platform 7 have been installed and it looked like some initial proving was taking place.
The temporary stairs down to platform 10/16 are gone.

A large section of this had been demolished as of yesterday evening, in a line running across most of the road width on Station Hill. You can see how far out this extends in the very lower section of camera #2, 2

Yep, it might take some time to get back to this

There has been a lot of work going on out of sight of camera 2, stripping off the upper layers of the road surface on station hill. You can just see part of the mounds of rubble on the left of tab #1

These now have framework attached at the top and some cabling hanging off the most easterly one. Is this prep work for the rest of the old bridge being removed in the coming months, I wonder.

More unspecified overhead problems just south of St. Neots today:

I lost about 20 minutes heading into Kings X on an early service from Leeds which was diverted onto the relief line.

From what I can make out on the webcam the crane stuck around long enough to remove the visible supporting structures too.
I'll be passing through this evening for a closer look.

So it is, various red flashes from presumably a metal cutter and a few roof sections gone as of 4pm visible on Cam 1, tab 3

Yes, I was wondering if they'd do a big lift n' shift having exposed the framwork at both ends

I took a look at the old bridge as I was leaving Reading this morning. Sections of the side have been removed adjacent to the carpark and also halfway along the closed section over one of the supports. There was a lot of debris laying on the floor, presumably pulled down from the roofspace.

On platform 7 yesterday evening I noticed a couple of the temporary roof support style girders (wrapped around with the standard issue black corrugated plastic tubing) that I don't recall seeing before and certainly not doing anything useful yet. One was at the extreme eastern end, the other roughly in line with the end of platform 6.

An interesting discussion has developed on the Reading Forums regarding the nature of Station Hill and the subway.
It starts somewhere around about here:

That looks rather likely - there are various pieces of machinery laying into the former road surface this morning.

Rail passengers face disruption to their journeys after overhead wires on the West Coast Main Line near Milton Keynes were damaged...

As of Friday morning a wooden wall has been erected on the ticketed side of the gateline between platform 10 and the now-closed section of footbridge.
In a useful move the barrier separating ticketed/unticketed traffic across the bridge has been completely removed. It felt rather spacious for the first time in years.

I see one of the comments posted on Wednesday states:
"At least its not forecast to rain on Friday (the old bridge closes at midnight tomorrow night)."

I wonder how well-informed that is ?
